1862-63 Reprints by Perkins, Bacon, exhibit page with four 1r and five 2r 1863 reprints on white wove paper in various colours (incl. as issued), then the 1862 printing in reversed colours on white laid paper and finally the rarely encountered 1862 printing with 1r Dark Blue and 2r Dark Brown on thin to medium white paper (see Moll pg. 55), a very fine group well suited for further exhibit or reference (Scott ca. $1’750) (Image)

Reprints, forgeries and proposed baggage labels, an important accumulation partly mounted plus photocopied literature, begins with 29 reprints (1-6 of each) incl. 2r on laid paper (total Scott $1’800, most fine or better), then two sets of 3 diff. “luggage stamps” (numbered between 000733 and 3192), mostly og and very fine and the same in 1957 reprints all numbered 100001, followed by a large semi-sorted accumulation of the outright forgeries dominated by the Spiro types incl. full sheets of the 2r in blue and in green (dotted cancels), also the better Oneglia litho forgeries and probably well over 100 forgeries (some in well-stuffed glassines) of many types in all. A delightful study lot, examine (Est. € 200/300) (Image)
